And ironically Kanye's lowest point was probably when Obama called hima jackass. I mean the guy probably grew up dreaming of havning a black president, was probably so proud when Obama was elected, ans then to find out what he thinks of you is that your a kackass. Probably hurt him more, then you were when he called you a racist.

Kanye west is a racist…how bout that. Just to assume that that is the reason that Katrina ended up the way it did…..the first reason you have is race. really? it is people like Kanye that perpetuate racism in society………like morgan freeman said the way to end racism is to stop talking about it. It truly is disgusting that Kanye chose to speak a statement about the President that is so alienating and divisive to his own people. He does not care about black people??? What a pig. Take a look in the mirror and see who is racist. Cuz that's where Ye's mind went first: This MUST be a race issue. Let's get less ignorant, shall we?

Not the first time Kayne's big mouth has offended someone and given them the worst moment of their life. Whether you like Bush or not, I do doubt he's a racist. I do not however doubt that Kayne is a giant D-bag

A remark Kanye West said was the "most disgusting moment" in his presidency??? What about the illegal war he started based on a lie that has killed over 100,000 Iraqi civilians (UN and US statistics), mostly women and children??? This war criminal doesn't have a clue!

and that's why i love kayne. he's talking about how racist the system is. poor blacks are dying and made homeless and the response was so slow. the disaster was caused by global warming which bush denied and made worse by the tons of old spilled over people's homes which the U.S. covered up. the aid would not have been the same in affluent areas. and bush, acting like the class and color he comes from, was not responding well. so, the statement is correct. as with all others the people made against bush about the war and giving breaks to the rich. not to mention that others will come bout about the conspiracy of 911.

I'm not a Bush supporter, but what Kanye said was just ignorant. Kanye, like the big-mouthed idiot he is, voiced his opinion during a time of "coming together to help the victims". Once again, Kanye was hijacking a public event to grandstand his own opinions and showing his social inadequacy. Bush wasn't a great President…. But, Kanye is an idiotic person. I hope he's really changed this time.

I wasn't a Bush fan (still am not), but he didn't deserve that from Kanye. History will show that Bush did much more for helping the black community than Obama did, and it's well known about the millions of dollars he sent to help fight AIDS in Africa. Obama is so afraid of giving the impression that he's being partial to the black community that he basically ignores them, and Africa.

Plus, as far as the Gulf Coast is concerned, they've said in surveys that Bush did a better job after Katrina than Obama did after the oil spill this year.

Wait … you sent American troops to Iraq to die over weapons of mass destruction that didn't exist … 911 occurred on your watch … one of the most historic and culturally rich cities was nearly wiped out because of inadequate levees during a vilent hurricane … a balanced budget went into record deficits due to your insistence on cutting taxes while increasing spending … and you think the worst moment of your presidency was when Kanye West said you don't care about black people?? That's what "disgusts" you the most? Really?? Well, here's proof that you were an idiot then and you're an idiot now, as if we needed more.

Bush is an asshole just like Obama sucks the Federal Reserve owners cock while Barney Frank bangs him in the ass with the red light on. But Kanye, go get your fucking shine box, kid. Kanye how do you feel about the money printing going on? An effor t to destroy the US currency? Do you have a fucking thought about that? Oh wait Obama is a back man, he swallowed his tounge. Kayne West is one of the most RACIST pieces of shit. Maybe Jim Beam will sponsor you to do ads when your 3 hit wonder career is over. Taylor Swift called she thinks you need your eyebrows waxed. Fool.

I am not a fan of either one of those two men, but I have no doubt at all that if it was upper middle class white neighbourhoods that got flooded, it would have been handled way better. The press was also racist in its coverage - I saw a picture of a black couple hauling a case of water out of a store - they were called 'looters'. Almost the identical picture, but with a white couple - they were 'helping people'. I think people like Bush don't think they are racist, but really they are - and that goes for a lot of us.

Yeah right. Bush could have ignored the 'comment' made by a music artist and let his actions speak. Oh but wait, they did! Kanye may not be PC but he's been right a few times now! However, I've only recently forgiven him for giving that no talent HACK Taylor Swift the forum she needed to become a star. Without his input, she would have won her award and faded away like Christopher Cross. Damn it, Kanye, be careful!!

You can hate on Kanye all you want, but he didn't lie. Facts are facts. We all saw the devastation and how it was handled in LA. Mississippi was affected also. Were they treated in the same fashion? I don't think so. Their devastation wasn't nearly as great, but they got half of the funds allocated?!? You don't want to call that racism?!?! What exactly do you call it, Mr. President? Maybe it wasn't you (i'll even give you the benefit of the doubt), but you allowed your cronies to influence your decisions, which makes you guilty by association. I call them as I see them.

Bush has never been a racist. Anyone who has ever followed his career knows he isn't. Kanye can barely spell his name, he doesn't need to go around running his ignorant mouth about things he knows nothing about.

Re: Akilia –
Bush didn't deserve the blame for Katrina, the LOCAL officials in LA deserved the blame. BUSH was telling them all along to get out of there. My parents live near there, and trust me Katrina was a failure because Nagin and other local officials just didn't prepare the city, had nothing to do with George Bush. Nagin and others were the idiots who should take the blame, not BUSH.

Re: sNaTcHqUaTcH – nice, calling a former president a 'monkey' and nobody calling YOU OUT. Liberals AGAIN calling the former president anything and everything AND IT IS OKAY. But call Obama anything, and you are racist. what is up with that? and NO ONE SHOULD BE ASHAMED BUYING HIS BOOK! The man is not a racist. He had a varied, diverse team in Washington. And JASON, that war in IRAQ, That stopped that Madman Saddam Hussein who did originally say he did have WMD. Unfortunately the truth will never be know since there was a TWO YEAR PERIOD BETWEEN THE UNITED NATIONS WANTED TO INSPECT AND THE U.S. GOING IN. Plenty of desert to hide things in. AND MADMAN HUSSEIN, how many people did he murder? NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW, BUT IT IS ESTIMATED AT AROUND TWO MILLION PEOPLE. MOST OF THEM HIS PEOPLE, HE DID NOT CARE.

Of course it bothers you A LOT when you're NOT a racist… Someone only calls someone else a racist these days when they cannot argue legitimately about the issues!!!!! Kayne was an idiot then and still is!!!!

I GUESS HE STILL NEVER SAW THE PICTURES OF THE MASSES OF BLACK AMERICANS DYING AND BEING IGNORED BY THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT. IT LOOKED A BIT LIKE HAITI AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE. I REALLY DON'T THINK GEORGE DID IT BECAUSE HE HATED BLACK PEOPLE LIKE KANYE SAID BUT BECAUSE GEORGE WAS SUCH A PUPPET WHOEVER WAS PULLING THE STRINGS JUST DIDN'T TELL HIM THAT PART OF AMERICA JUST BECAME A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY. KANYE SUCKED THEN AND HE SUCKS NOW. HE IS A BLACK HOLE … AN ASSHOLE. LIKE YOU PEREZ.

A racist get upset when you call them a racist. If you're not a racist then what he said shouldn't bother him you just mark it up as stupid. Just like those crazy people who walk around with President Obama as Hilter signs or bring armed weapon to where the President is speaking and claim they have the right to bear arms. (Which is complete untrue in the context that they are trying to carry weapons.) It doesn't bother President Obama he just dust his shoulders off and keep it moving. That is Bush lowest point? Wow.

Im not a fan of Bush, but that comment Kanye made was not neccesary , whatever you think of Bush , it was very tasteless to say that on public TV knowing everyone will be watching.Its very hard to change peoples opinion of yourself when you are dubbed racist by one of the most popular artists out there.But who gives a damn about Kanye anyways ?? his peers hate him, so does President Obama, it was pure gold when he called Kanye a Jackass.Kanye is just a big baby whining about every single thing and opening his mouth when not needed just to get attention.

THAT disgusted him more than the time he pretended to look for the non-existent WMDs under his desk…. while our sons and daughters and thousands of Iraqis were dying for NOTHING????? wow. Shows what kind of person he is. More disgusted by s put down than his own reprehensible bad taste.

Re: kjen – i think there's blame to go around… but money was diverted by bush - money that was supposed to go to maintain and shore up the levees… as well as louisiana natl guard troops sent to Iraq who were not there where they should have been when disaster struck.

George - you shouldn't have let that asshole bother you. Once Kanye West is consigned to the dustbin of history, you will still be remembered as one of our best presidents ever. Love you Dubya and miss you too!!!!!

Re: Transitioning – I know it is often popular for minorities to assume that white ppl are racist. I know many are racist but I will never accept that gwb is a racist. I would sooner call kanye jackass west a racist, isn't he the smae loser that said I'm the friendliest rapper to white people. Kanye west is ignorant and until he lives righteously I have no interest in his defamation of others! I detest kanye west so much personally that I refuse to listen to his music, as soon as his song comes on the radio I change the dial! We have to stop tolerating losers like kw because at one point they had a decent album, he does more to divide than to unite a clear sign of low self esteem and a miserable soul. Go to he'll kanye west and take all your miserable money and posessuons with you!

Re: cafehead1 – What planet are you from that you spout such misinformation??? Katrina was caused by global warming?? There have always been hurricanes!! You listen to Gore too much, who, by the way, has made billions of dollars on his fear mongering 'global warming" threats YET built a HUGE house right on a cliff in California that according to him was going to fall off the state of California!!!!! Does he sound THAT worried?? Also, there were white people who suffered when the levees broke, not just the blacks!1 They were just the only ones waiting on rooftops for the government to "save" them!! Can't save themselves or take any responsibility for themselves!!

Re: rosebud99 – Hey Rosebud, there were affluent white neighborhoods affected by flood waters!!!!!!!! The area is called Lakeview, idiot! But, no, Spike Lee did not cover that. Only give your opinion about what you know of!!!

GEORGE W. BUSH IS NOT A RACIST!!! All the people saying he is racist are fuckin stupid! He appointed rice condelezza as his secretary of state.. does that sound racist to you? And I hope kanye jumps off a cliff

Re: TheMrsBradPitt – Where did you get this "brilliant" bit of info??? Bush "diverted" money that was supposed to be used to shore up the levees????? The levees were designed and shored up by the Army Corp of Engineers and were supposed to withstand a Cat 5 hurricane. Well, guess what??? They did not. Unfortunately, the best plans do not always work! If people would have followed the government in it's MANDATORY evacuation order they would not have been waiting on the government to save them, as usual!!!!

One thing the liberal media never points out is that Bush gave millions, or probably billions, of dollars in aid to Africa to fight aids over there. He gave so much it was a bone of contention here. He is a hero there. Of course, no credit for him, he never boasted non-stop about himself, like that fraud Obama, the Destroyer, does.

Kanye West is an idiot. He has proven it over and over again. He disses the President of the U.S. and interrupts Taylor Swifts speech. The current President has called him a jackass and now Justin Bieber needs to interrupt his acceptance speech. If he ever wins anything.

Re: JasonDiggy – Hey fool, why aren't you ragging on Obama about HIS wars? Bush didn't lie, the recently released wikileak documents prove that THERE WERE weapons of mass destruction! Quit parroting your idiot liberal stock and trade rants! You guys are retarded! How about Obama response to the oil leaks! Your dumbed-down hypocrisy is obvious to all that have brains.

Re: Southern belle 12 –
Yep. Nagin left buses sitting and had no plan and he turned to blaming Bush and people ran with it without knowing what was really going on. New Orleans had been told for years and years to shore up those levys and they've ignored it over and over again. I blame Nagin to the fullest for not getting people out when he had the time and the means to do so had he just acted quickly instead of pointing fingers.

Sorry but George W. made the victims of hurricane Katrina suffer, by making the FALSE CLAIM that he had not heard about the destruction (was all over the news) and then he prevented the victims from getting early aide. Aide was indeed available the very next day for the victims but the bush administration decided to make people suffer instead. Even going so far as to employ blackwater guards to prevent people from leaving the city. Foreign countries were offering quick aide left and right, and they were also turned away. New Orleans is still not close to being fully recovered from this. If this is not racism its atleast an attack on the lower middle class which is disgraceful no matter what anyone wants to claim about the inhabitants of New Orleans.

Lol. The moment that a popstar accuses him of being racist is the most disgusting moment during his presidency? I would have thought it was the illegal war that was justified by a lie, the removal of basic rights of US citizens, hundreds of thousands of Iraq and Afghanistan citizens dead, the complete failure of the government during katrina, legalized torture, the collapse of the economy, the mutilation of the education system, or the anti-science movement that set back medical technology a decade.

Re: Razz Matazz –
To call Bush racist shows ignorance on anyone's part, they've obviously not followed his career. He is the president who has given the MOST aid to Africa, last time I checked mostly black people live there. He and his wife have given money and funded reading and literacy programs for underprivileged youth, who happened to be mostly of color. So if he's so racist I don't think he would have put so much effort into helping so many people of color. As far as Katrina goes the blame doesn't go to Bush, that was a LOCAL FAILURE, not a failure on the part of George Bush. The city and its officials are STILL failing the people. The city is STILL not rebuilt to what is should be…Mississippi is. Katrina was a local failure to heed warnings.

Re: rosebud99 – You're absolutely right. I live in a city that recently went through a horrible 1,000 year flood. The middle class neighborhoods were much better than Katrina because they got their butts out and helped themselves. Not one family sitting on their roof demanding a helicopter to bail them out. You can't spend your whole life depending on other people to help you out.

Anyone who has done a little research into the Bush family would know they have donated millions upon millions of dollars (of their own personal wealth) to minority and foreign educational groups. There is nothing that shows them to be racist, it was just Kanye looking for spotlight.

Re: @v@ – That is because all the people in the city were robbing, murdering, looting, and raping!!! Ask Charmaine Neville who was just trying to get to safe ground and was raped by a group of thugs! I know store owners who said that their shops were broken into and everything broken just to be disrespectful and shit (literally) spread all over the walls!!! When you take the time to shit in your hand and spread it on the wall, you are really an animal!!

umm. can you all stfu and ask, what is bush thinking of 9/11? Was that not the lowest point on all of our histories? SERIOUSLY? Kanye is his lowest? Not when America got bombed, murdered? Wow. Get a grip people, Bush is as delusional as ever. 9/11 was his lowest point, he's still simply too ashamed or aware to admit it.

Afterwards, Cirque du Soleil released a statement about the accident, noting that crew members rushed to Arnaud's aid and immediately transported him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead sometime later.
